Magnificent Millstone

After our meeting at the Hall we went on to the Millstone at Mellor our main accommodation venue and the place where we are having a meal with Jon's family and the wedding party the night before the big day.

We had planned to just have a quick sarnee, but due to getting there late we were over the cusp of lunchtime and needed to chose from the main menu. What a huge stroke of luck this turned out to be! Jon ordered the lamb shank, with bubble and squeak and cabbage....

I the haddock and chunky chips with mushy peas and home-made tartar sauce.....they even wrapped the lemon in a muslin cover so when you squeezed it you didn't get pips in your food!

WOW.

It was incredible.

Jon's lamb just fell off the bone and melted in the mouth , my Haddock had the loveliest crispy home-made beer batter and those chips....AMAZING......we were both so FULL we nearly popped(!)

This place genuinely deserves the moniker 'gastropub' a much maligned term so often wrongly applied. The chef-patron Anson is a real talent and his love of good food, properly-made from scratch shines through like a beacon. I can't recommend The Millstone at Mellor highly enough, and we can't wait to return.
